WAXING  LYRICAL  as  a poet  and a   song  lyricist  I've  done a little research  on the  latter.  Be  careful  to  keep  copies  of  your  work  when sending them  off  to whomsoever. Preferably  the  originals. Sign  and  date  them.  There are  many  managers  of bands  who  just  happen  to be  solicitors. This  does  not  mean  they  are  going to  be  honest  where  money  is  concerned.  There  are also  judges  who have  shares  in  the record  industry. This  does  not mean  you will  get a  fair  hearing  where  money  is  concerned.  Lyrics  are  good  for  bands who can't write  them.  A  lyric  can inspire  a  tune.  To have  many lyrics  under  your  belt  his  half  the  battle. You can  then concentrate  on writing  the  music.  Don't   believe  anyone  who says  the lyric in a song doesn't  matter!!  You'll hear  many  a  merry  person on a Weekend  singing  a  lyric!!  Bands  who  make  off  with  your  writings  will copy  them  out  and  leave  them around for  many folk to  see. They  obtain books,  second  hand or otherwise that  pertain to some  of  the lyrics, so  one  gets  the  impression  that  is  what  inspired  the writing.  If  there  are  names  in a song they will  associate  themselves  with  someone  bearing  that name,  even if it's  just  for a quick chat,  but they will  make sure  someone else  is  observing. They  will  put themselves  in  positions  or places  that pertain  to  the  lyrics.  Again,  this  is so  they  can claim  they  wrote the material,  and that this is where  they got  the idea  from!!  Get  the picture.  I repeat,  be  careful. Saying  that, anyone,  or any  band  wishing to use my  lyrics  please  notify  me. Im very  obliging,  just ask an infamous  rocker!!
